1. Operate only from the power source specied on the unit. 2. Avoid damaging the AC plug and power cord. 3. Avoid Improper installation and never position the unit where good ventilation is unattainable. 4. Do not allow objects or liquid into the cabinet openings. 5. In the event of trouble, unplug the unit and call a service technician. Do not attempt to repair it yourself or remove the rear cover. Changes or modications not approved by JVC could void the warranty. * When you dont use this TV set for a long period of time, be sure to disconnect both the power plug from the AC outlet and antenna for your safety. * To prevent electric shock do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

CAUTION:

This safety feature allows the plug to t into the power outlet only one way. Should you be unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Should it still fail to t, contact your electrician. 2 Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the operating instructions for this information. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your TV set dealer or local power company. For battery operation, refer to the operating instructions. 3 Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power cords and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or re hazard. Call your service technician for replacement. 4 Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the TV set where power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or re hazard. 5 Do not use this TV set near water for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near swimming pool, etc.

6 If an outside antenna is connected to the TV set, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection requirements for the grounding electrode. 7 An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

The Connections Checklist Read Me First! section of this guide is a list of ideas to keep in mind when you set out to perform your connections. It is designed to help us not-so-technicallyadvanced individuals. If you read this section, and cant identify the plugs, connectors, and components you have, do not be afraid to seek help.

RF Connectors

1) Refer to the connection instructions in the users guide for each component you plan to connect. They will provide more detailed information about their products, and they will tell you what plugs and cables are required. 2) Most A/V input jacks and plugs are color coded: Yellow plugs are Video connections Red plugs are for Right Audio connections White plugs are Left Audio (Mono) connections 3) Perform one hookup at a time. If you have many accessories to connect, make sure each connection is correct by checking to see that it works properly before attempting the next connection. (For example, always start with the RF or Cable connections, make sure it works, then move on to video or VCR connections.) 4) Unplug the power cord between each connection. 5) Each jack on the back of the TV is labeled. If you read these instructions and still do not fully understand the connections process, seek assistance. 6) The IR Mouse lets TV Guide Plus+ control your cable box and/or your VCR. You must place the transmitter of the IR Mouse in front of the corresponding window on the cable box or VCR. 7) The AV Compu Link Cable is supplied with the JVC device which you want to connect. If you do not have one, but you do have a JVC Compu Link capable VCR or HiFi, contact your local JVC dealer.

Press the BLUE button to exit setup. 3. Turn the TV off. 4. Data downloading usually takes less than 15 minutes. However, on some cable systems, this download may take as much as two hours.

NOTE: If you do not have a cable box, you can watch TV while the Host Search and Download are in progress. Also, note that TV Guide Plus+ will not be available until the Host Search and download functions are complete. Refer to page 23 for TV Guide Plus+ messages.

CHANNEL MAPPING
After the data for TV Guide Plus+ is set up, a channel map has been created. If there is more than one cable company servicing your local area, the Host Search will yield the Channel Mapping Screen which will appear the rst time you press the GUIDE/TV button. Essentially, TV Guide Plus+ is asking you to complete the host search by identifying which cable company you use. Identify your cable company by conrming which stations actually are found on the channel numbers indicated by TV Guide Plus+.

CHANNEL MAPPING
The Channel Mapping Screen may appear the rst time you turn on TV Guide Plus+, after the Initial Setup download, if the channel map is not identied.

1. Determine which channels the stations displayed are on (as in this example FAM and WGN). 2. Press GREEN or to move the cursor left, YELLOW or to move the cursor right. 3. Press BLUE for Select when the cursor is on the proper channel numbers.
NOTE: If you do not know at what channel number the listed stations are found, press the round EXIT button on the remote, go to those channels to check the channel numbers, and then come back to TV Guide Plus+ (by pressing the GUIDE/TV button) to complete the setup.

SOME VERY IMPORTANT FINAL WORDS ON TV GUIDE PLUS+

NOTE 1: TV Guide Plus+ automatically includes up to 50 channels in the guide. See page 33 TV Guide Plus+ Channel Editor if you have a cable system with more than 50 channels or to customize the list to your level of cable service. NOTE 2: If the channels are O.K., but there are no listings of programs, or there are only partial listings, dont worry, you just need more data. The time for the next data download is displayed in the blue information box (upper right corner of TV Guide Plus+ screen when you tune a channel that says, No Listing). NOTE 3: If you use a Cable Box the TV Power must be OFF in order for the data download to work.

BALANCE
The Balance adjustment feature allows you to center the TVs sound to your needs. To BALANCE To shift the speaker balance to the right To shift the speaker balance to the left To move to next

Some Sound Advice You can tell if a program is broadcast in stereo by the position of the ON AIR arrow in the MTS menu. Unfortunately, it is common for some cable companies to squash the transmission of stereo programs to mono because they only have mono equipment. If your TV is connected to a cable system, the sound is at the mercy of that cable company if they broadcast in mono, you receive mono sound regardless of the original stereo programming. Fortunately, most programs that are broadcast in stereo are aired on the major television networks. If you connect your TV to an antenna instead of cable, and set the Tuner Mode in the Auto Tuner Setup to Air instead of Cable, you will be able to pick up stereo broadcasts in stereo.
